Pear Worden Seckel

Pear Worden Seckel Details

The Pear Worden Seckel is grown for its interesting and tasty fruit which ripen in late summer. The fruit have a red-brown skin with white dots and a sweet flavour. These are held amidst the fresh, green foliage which develops yellow tones in autumn before falling. This variety requires another variety planted nearby such as Conference or Winter Nelis to aid pollination for good yields. It typically grows to 4 m tall and 3.5 m wide but can be trimmed as necessary. Best yields are achieved when it is planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site, with good soil moisture during dry periods. It is tolerant of cool climates and frost, though a late frost in spring may reduce the yield. The Worden Seckel pear is commonly grown for fruit production, included into a mixed planting, or grown as a specimen.
